johng001 Member 192 Member For: 21y 1m 6d Location: Melb Posted 12/11/04 11:49 AM Share Posted 12/11/04 11:49 AM I was just reading the December "Motor" mag with the Typhoon on cover. Theres a picture of the oil pressure and boost gauges in the article, but the boost gauge has no numerical scale, just - and + and lines in the middle.I was considering putting these gauges in my T but it seem pointless having a boost gauge that dosen't tell you boost pressure.

Much like temp guages only have H and C ???Also helps their service dept gurus out when a customer comes in complaining of overboost. "No sir, we couldn't find any evidence of overboost. The guage only went to + just like it's supposed to.":blink: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13951-typhoon-gauges/#findComment-187061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 18/11/04 05:25 AM Share Posted 18/11/04 05:25 AM I sat in one the other day and yes they no numerical scale etc... How are you supposed to tell how much boost your running etc... I reckon they are crap and the other thing I didnt like was the way they sat. they looked like they were facing down a bit which is annoying.

Guest SSimmo Guests Posted 21/11/04 01:09 PM Share Posted 21/11/04 01:09 PM I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to fit a decent aftermarket gauge into the stock binnacle. I suppose that kind of defeats the purpose of having a boost gauge standard, though. However, judging by your opinions of its 'cheap' appearance, I'm sure most will be upgrading!
